Nokia Drive version 2.0 with offline navigation now available

Nokia Drive (our review) version 2.0 has been released and is available for download on the Marketplace. The Windows Phone turn-by-turn navigation app from Nokia now sports offline navigation to further cut the use of data. With this functionality not dependant on your connectivity (or data allowance), you'll be able to drive with peace of mind.

As well as the offline use, we've also got "Last Destinations" that can be selected for user convenience. The ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) of the selected destination is also displayed along with the speed you're currently travelling at (as well as on the route selection screen next to the distance). An audio speed limit alert can be set up in the settings, which will sound should the user exceed the road limit.

Should you really want to take an in-depth look at how Nokia Drive can help you on your way, be sure to check out the user guide (updated for version 2.0).

No, I find it INCREDIBLY annoying. I also find it annoying that when I use bing search for a location I can't pick it to open the address in local scout like other apps can.
Finally, I'm frustrated that as soon as you switch apps navigation stops.

Can non-Nokia phones download this app? (I don't own a WP device yet.) I know that Nokia apps were once only for Nokia devices, but I thought I read that they were going to be available to other makes as well. Thanks.

Drive will stay exclusive for Nokia or will eventually go to the other phones for a paid price. If you want good free stuff from Nokia, just buy a nokia. Companies like HTC or Samsung are not that good with apps. They all have a bunch of useless photo apps.

Nokia Transport used to be available under a direct link opened on the phone:http://windowsphone.com/s?appid=2a006d06-08c0-4728-9635-474661226a14
I managed to grab it a couple of days ago on my Lumia 800 in Poland.
However now it says it's not available for my phone, so I probably won't be able to upgrade when a new version of Nokia Transport is out.

Nokia Transport is available in the Marketplace for Nokia Lumia. The name is however localized into different languages, so you might not be able to find it as 'Nokia Transport'.
Soon it will appear in 'Nokia collection' but if you cannot find it there yet, just tap on any other Nokia app, then on 'more from Nokia Corporation' and you will find also Nokia Transport.

And, I had an Omnia 7 before I went Lumia 800, and I bought Turn by Turn at the time, and... Nokia's Drive is soooooo much better, I mean it's not even fair to compare. Fast, reliable, knows every street, every small company/store... Amazing!
